I've never thought of relief that way! I've been through so so so many storms in my life, and when the sun comes out, the feeling of RELIEF is so amazing. You're right, it means I survived. I love how you put this in perspective.

I’ve never given much thought to relief as an emotion. In some ways for me, it almost has a negative connotation. Stress and discomfort are the catalysts for growth, as you say, but relief is the beautiful signal of recognizing that you have grown. Thanks for this reminder.
